Media Discussion

Seeing a lot of discussion of new and upcoming games, but what are some of your awesome all time favourite games that you can play and play and never get bored? I have a few. On the PC: Deus Ex - Amazingly immersive FPSRPG. I remember playing this on a 12 inch monitor back in the day until 3am morning after morning, sneaking around and just loving it. Such a good game, both story and gameplay, and the graphics were pretty advanced for its time too. Diablo 2 - Mindless gore-churning grind, and done better that anything released since. The atmospheric music, the graphical detail which still passes inspection today, and the frantic mouse-destroying combat comb…

I'm on LoA until January 8th. I'll be in Peru, leaving on the 24th. No, you wont be able to contact me as my laptop will be in the U S of A. Smoke signals may reach me, but I cant interpret them. Emp is in charge. Don't wreck the forums and all that jazz. See you in 2010.

Anybody else watch this show? It reminds me of the Ocean movies in tv show format with less characters and only one well known actor. I've only seen the pilot, but it was very enjoyable (albeit a little long), I loved the characters (especially the Chris Tucker-esque black guy), and am looking forward to watching more. For those of you with Netflix, the first two seasons are currently on instant watch.

I admit folks.. I am not very excited about this film. I plan to watch it as I have little doubt it will get a best picture nod. Feel free to post your reactions in this thread. this review is spoilerific btw! The gist is he liked it.

I just watched the first two episodes of this on TNT.tv and I have to say that I am very impressed with this show. Anyone else seen it?

Please welcome the (Empress) Zashara! Zash has some really great ideas to help innovate and invigorate this Org. Don't scare this one off. :P

I can't decide if this is a good idea or not. Are we going to be wearing 3d glasses in front of my TV?

World records involving someone spending tons of cash on something ridiculous don’t come around nearly as frequently as I would like, and that’s why this latest world record news has me so damn happy. See, a guy named Buss “Erik” Lightyear recently set the record for the most expensive virtual item ever purchased when he threw down a whopping $330,000 for the Crystal Palace Space Station in the MMORPG Entropia Universe, Edge Online reports. Upon winning the auction, Lightyear posted on the game’s forum, "I was really hoping to win this auction. I believe Crystal Palace can be amazing since it won’t just be owned by some investor, but instead a very active, and very o…

I haven't seen any of the movies or read any of the books and i've been wondering is the Twilight Saga really as good as i've been told? ???

My list is coming soon... but here is nice write up that I found funny... and spot on... It’s that time of year again folks. Just as everyone is finally pumping out their series of lists (to which I will of course add to the pile), there seems to be no end of additional “Worst of” lists to compliment the various “best of’s”. And every year I try to look away, knowing full well what they’ll do to me. A worst of list isn’t like a best of. “Best of” is a compliment. It is that grand exaltation, that final pat on the back that says “You made a great, noteworthy film that should be checked out by all.” A Worst of is a f*** you. It says “of all the films that came out this…

Anybody else live in a Time Warner Cable area and will lose FOX if this deal doesn't get hashed out? FX goes as well I think. FOX I can get with rabbit ears, but FX will be a goner. Thankfully, the only show I watch religiously on FOX that I can't find on Hulu the next day is So You Think You Can Dance. And there are other means to getting that rather than paying for silly rabbit ears for one show. I won't be able to vote though. So that sucks.

Did anyone see this? Awesomely funny homage/parody of Empire Strikes Back by the family guy crew. Had a pretty good chuckly I do say.

I had fun this year, won a few games and now get to sit back and watch the playoffs. Good Luck those who made it

Blizzard Unvieled their new expansion not to long ago. I don't play it, when I heard about the concept, I actually considered getting the expansion. Then I saw the trailer and all I can say is... "woe is me! The blizzard of ol' is dead!" Anyways, heres what there FAQ States.

I am talking this year... not two years ago... "not your favorite show of all time but this season sucked a little but I still think it is the best show". What delivered in 2009 that you just could not miss.

I missed the very first dividing into teams as I was just getting home and getting settled. But this is probably the first time episode one has been interesting in a long time. I hate Russel so much it makes my hair stand on end. But on the other hand he's definitely entertaining. I mean, right off the bat he's up to making a "dumb girl alliance" and concocting a Katrina survivor lie, which by the way his accent is pretty dead on, and burning peoples' socks, drinking the water out of everyone's canteens, and moving their stuff. He's a total Puck. And no I'm not trying to censor myself, I mean Puck from folklore/Shakespeare/Real World Miami. I feel bad for Maris…

Title: Fiesta Developer:Spark Site: http://fiesta.outspark.com/ Cost: Free to download and play, but in order to do much of anything useful, you need to purchase coins, or whatever. Servers: From what I've seen there are 5 North American Servers. Setting: You are in this land called Isya, and there is this epic battle between Angels and Demons going on. There are four classes, and while they boast of completely customizable characters--it's not so much. There is a female and male face, 4 different hairstyles and 4 different hair colors. The level cap is 105. >.> Personal experience: Okay, so what can I say? I'm a chick. I like pretty things. Fiest…

Alright, so I've taken it upon myself to be ridiculous and try out various and sundry MMO's and let you all know what I think. Why does what I think matter? Beats me, but I've played A LOT of video games in my time, and I've played A LOT of MMO's in my time...and so ya know...I know about...stuff. >.> Anywho, here's the first! Title: Dungeons and Dragons Online Developer: Turbine, Inc. Site: http://ddo.com Cost: Standard accounts are free; though you can upgrade. Servers: 5 in North America, 2 in Europe, 0 in Oceania. Aussies and the like connect to the North America servers, and have fun with that ping. :P Setting Info: This game uses the E…

The summary: Ultimately, it is a good movie that completely fails as a musical.

Max Steel Announced: December 14, 2009 Development: In Development Release Date: Not Announced Summary: Taylor Lautner headlines this movie adaptation of Mattel's toy line. A 19-year-old extreme-sports athlete has been accidentally exposed to the unleashed power of nanotechological machines, which became part of him and gave him increased strength, near-invulnerability and the ability to change his appearance. The young man now fights the enemies of peace as a super-powered secret agent. Bottom-Line: This is basically a vehicle for Taylor Lautner reflecting his recent success as heartthrob Jacob Black in the Twilight series. Lautner is likel…

Paramount pulled out all the stops for the Iron Man DVD launch this week with Jon Favreau sitting down with a major contingent of online press to talk about plans for the sequel and beyond. Amongst the facts gleaned: - Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Terrence Howard are all set to reprise their roles. - The "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, if included, will form the basis of the third film and not the immediate sequel. - Rhodey (Terrence Howard) may become 'War Machine' in the next one with the armor being developed for the character. - Iron Man's armor may also be updated for the next film. - There's hope to include IMAX 3D sequences in the sequ…

I found this list and for the most part agree with it, especially the comments for #1. Do you? What other shows do you think deserve a mention?

Premieres Sept 9th Season 5

Quick Summary: Best movie of the year so far.
